Simba Kenyatta is a member of the Coalition for a County Wide Community Dialogue on Race, Poverty, Equality, and Justice, and a political and social activist with decades of work in Santa Cruz. We talked about the Coalition's Listening Sessions that are documenting the experience and reality of racism in the community. 43 Minutes & 42 Seconds, MP3 format.

We also discussed the origins of the Coalition and who's involved, the myth of "progressive" racial politics, the evolution of racism in recent years and decades, and the process through which people can testify, anonymously if preferred, at the remaining two hearings.
